The Project

Sources Consulted

The large quantity of material collected by Professor David
M Walker since the 1950s formed the starting point for the creation of the
Dictionary of Scottish Architects. This is stored in the DMW Archive.

Bibliographic, periodical and archive references for each architect or practice
and each building or design are listed under the relevant entries in the database.
Some sources have been only partially consulted, but those listed below have
been searched comprehensively (using indexes rather than page-by-page, unless
stated otherwise), and all information relating to named architects in the
period 1840-1940 has been entered into the database.
